Rosa Mendes training for her in-ring return

Mendes retired from WWE in February of 2017, one year after the birth of her child that was promoted and heavily featured on the “Total Divas” reality show.

She noted that while she did take part in training during her early career with Ohio Valley Wrestling, she didn’t get much ring time and is changing that now.

“We had shows every day at [Ohio Valley Wrestling], which was great, but it limited training days. I managed on the shows so I didn’t get a lot of in-ring training. I’ve never been this strong and healthy, so I feel as though I should take advantage of this time in my life to fulfill my dream of becoming a strong competitor.”
